Hey guys.
I am battling to understand keyword competition research and I would appreciate some help.
If I search for my keyword in Google, the top 10 results are fairly strong with some of them PR4+ and a good couple thousand backlinks. However, not to be swayed as I am building for the long term, I did some keyword anchor analysis on each of the top 10 results and not a single one was optimized for my specific keyword. Heck, they were not even slightly close to it. So I presume they were ranking based on relevant content.
So my question is, could I outrank them since I will be optimizing 100% for that keyword. I do NOT have an EMD but after much research, it doesnt seem to make THAT much of a difference. (please do the same research before you flame about this) I will be building quality links manually with PR4+ *iriehost*iriehost*iriehost*iriehost*iriehost*iriehost*iriehost*iriehost links from blogs/forums/articles. I might blast those links with automated tools afterwards.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
